An eleven-year-old from Little Rock, Arkansas, won a new lawn mower, weed eater, and leaf blower after completing the 50 Yard Challenge.
Raising Men and Women Lawn Care Service posed the challenge to young participants to mow 50 lawns belonging to those most in need free of charge. Mowers are encouraged to seek out the elderly, single moms, the disabled, and veterans. To date, over 25,000 lawns have been mowed for free by 4,588 young mowers, according to the nonprofit’sChildren and teens as far away as Australia, Japan, Germany, Sweden, South Africa, and England have completed the challenge.
Nelson said at times he wanted to quit, but his grandmother was his biggest supporter. She even taught him to mow and signed him up for the challenge in the first place. “I am proud that I got this far and still because of my grandma I wouldn’t be here right now,” Nelson said. Now, Nelson is creating his own lawn care business called the Reel Deal, but he said he will still be providing free services to those in need.
